Ummul mumineen Maria al-Qibtiyya(رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ)

Maria al-Qibtiyya (may Allah be pleased with her) is said to have
married the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and
certainly everyone gave her the same title of respect as the
Prophet’s wives, ‘Umm al Muminin’ ‘Mother of the Believers’. Maria
was born in upper Egypt of a Coptic father and Greek mother and
moved to the court of the Muqawqis when she was still very young.
She arrived in Medina to join the Prophet’s household just after the
Prophet returned from the treaty with Quraish which was contracted
at al-Hudaybiyya. Maria gave birth to a healthy son in 9 AH, the
same year that his daughter Zaynab died, and the Prophet named his
new son Ibrahim, after the ancestor of both the Jews and the
Christians, the Prophet from whom all the Prophets who came after
him were descended. Unfortunately, when he was only eighteen months
old, Ibrahim became seriously ill and died. Even though he knew that
his small son would go to the Garden, the Prophet Muhammad (peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) could not help shedding some
tears. When some of his Companions asked him why he was weeping, he
replied, “It is my humanness.”

As Ibrahim’s body was being buried, the sun was eclipsed and it grew dark and gloomy. Some people thought this was connected with Ibrahim’s death, but the Prophet soon clarified this. “The sun and the moon are two of Allah’s signs,” he said, “they are not eclipsed because of anyone’s birth or death. When you see these signs, make haste to remember Allah in prayer.” Although the kafirun used to mock the Prophet Muhammad because he had no sons, and say that he was ‘cut off’ , Allah made it clear in the following surah that the station of the Prophet Muhammad was far above that of any other man;

In the name of Allah, The Merciful, the Compassionate: Surely We have given you AL Khawthar, so pray to your Lord and offer sacrifice. Surely he who mocks you is the one cut off. (Quran 108:1- 3)

Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets, and Allah has knowledge of all things. (Quran 33:40)

Maria was honored and respected by the Prophet and his family and Companions. She spent three years of her life with the Prophet, until his death, and died five years later in 16 AH, (may Allah be pleased with her) For the last five years of her life, she remained a recluse and almost never went out except to visit the grave of the Prophet or her son’s grave. After her death, Umar ibn al Khattab led the prayer over her and she was buried in al Baqi.

I don’t generally do this but it seems important that I get the word out. What I am about to say may make you think I’ve lost my mind a bit, but I ask you to consider the evidence and then draw your own conclusions. There is a very interesting hadith that sounds exactly like a nuclear attack (from Kitab-Al-Fitan), Nuaim bin Hammad:

We have recently realized the value of the use of amulets. It has been scientifically proven that water is affected by what is recited over it. Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto has had a unique experience. He said that he had read in a book that each snowflake falling from the sky is unique. He said that his scientific instincts told him that this was not true.

“I was real close with them, and I saw how happy and content they were. And to see how they lived their lives, it was just simple,” Sonny Bill Williams, a prodigious rugby talent, professional boxer and tattooed poster boy, tells CNN’s Human to Hero series.

“I have been sent close to the Hour, with the sword, so that none has the right to be worshipped except Almighty God alone, without any partner. My sustenance is beneath the shade of my spear. And humiliation and ignominy is for whosoever opposes my command. And whosoever resembles a people is from them.”
